Our team of arborists helps determine existing or looming health problems in trees. They do regular check-ups for diseases, pests, or structural issues and can help prevent tree removal through early intervention. Here are reasons why My Arborist should regularly inspect your trees:
Visual Assessment of Overall Tree Health
My Arborist evaluates the overall health of the tree by examining the root, branches, and crown for discoloration or distortion. We assess the density, size, and color of the leaves. Our arborists also look for any signs of injury or other abnormal growths on the outside of the tree. We analyze the trunk area for any rotting or cavities that can have an impact on stability. Our experts also look for signs of damage to the cankers or other kinds of swellings that may suggest health problems. Branches are evaluated based on their ability to stay attached and the presence of any diseases or other vulnerabilities. The part of the tree next to the ground, known as the root collar, is checked for any deformity.
Assessment of Tree Structure and Stability
Our team at My Arborist will then analyze what the tree may need, such as fertilization or any structural support. Any trees that may be leaning, have multiple trunks, or codominant stems will be pruned or have a customized treatment plan. Our arborists also determine the tree’s ability to withstand environmental stresses such as wind force or snow load. We’ll help treat the symptoms and find the root cause of the issue by inspecting any soil swelling or extruding roots. We use pet-friendly products to help protect other desirable insects, such as butterflies and bees.
Detection of Signs of Disease or Pest Infestation
My Arborist examines the tree, looking for signs of disease or pests. We look for changes in the color of the leaves, cankers, or galls on limbs or trunks. We also look for signs of current or prior insect activity, such as borings. We’ll also evaluate any infestation or disease and the degree of its threat to the tree’s well-being. This way, our team can create and develop a treatment plan to remove any threats for any more potential damage.
Assessment of Tree’s Proximity to Structures
We determine if the tree can currently or in the future threaten property or safety. Our experts evaluate the likelihood of interference between the tree and other structures in the area, taking into account the probabilities of the roots’ interference with underground utilities or structures. Developing a customized plan to help support the tree will help prevent any damage to the tree or property.
